STOP THERE. If you use this formula, NO NUMBERS THAT COME FROM YOUR MHR ARE VALID. If the 220-AGE formula works for you, it's a coincidence only. Age has little to nothing to do with MHR in the consistently trained individual. My max hr has been the same from when I first started tracking it over 10 years ago.
